User:Black Demon/Crimes in Detective Conan

The Black Organization, the symbol of crime in Detective Conan.

Crime is one of the central elements in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan by Gosho Aoyama. Crime appears in many forms throughout the whole series, with the most common one being the act of Murder. Almost every case in Detective Conan involves one or multiple kinds of crimes, however, the extent and dangerous degree of which vary from case to case. The protagonists, along with the Law Enforcement and many other detectives, are responsible for preventing and fighting against these crimes.

A person who commits crime is usually called a "Criminal" (犯人 ,han'nin).

Crimes

Murder

General

Murder, and sometimes referred to (although not entirely correctly) as Killing, is one of the many forms of Homicide, where a person ends the living life of another person on purpose, for some certain reasons. The criminal in this case is usually called "The murderer", "The killer" or "The culprit". This is the most common crime in Detective Conan.

There are many ways to commit a murder, but the most common methods that have been used throughout the whole series are: Use sharp objects (such as knife) to cut or stab the victim's body; physically attack the victim with heavy objects (usually on the head); shoot the victim using firearms; strangle or poison the victim to death...

The murders in Detective Conan are prompted by various motives, such as vengeance, jealousy or hatred... The relationship between the culprit and the victim each time also ranges from enemies to close friends and even siblings. In most of the cases, the murderers usually come up with brilliant tricks and strategies that would help them creating a solid alibi, or making the crime scene looks like an accident or a suicide; in order to prevent the truth from being revealed to other people.

Most murder cases are assigned to the Homicide squad (殺人犯捜査第1～第12係) from Division 1 (捜査第一課) of the Criminal Investigation Department (刑事部).

Attempted murder

There have been many situations, in which a killer was having intention in finishing the life of a certain target, but didn't succeed in doing so, due to the survival of the victim afterwards. This kind of situation happens when the victim is rescued on time by a third person before the culprit can do any harm, or that the victim is able to defend or dodge him/herself from the most lethal attacks.

Sometimes, even though the murders have successfully wounded their targets to the point of being unconscious, however, these victims are fortunately aided on time, thus end up alive.

Serial murder

A Serial murder is a series of Murders that occurred in a period of time and are all carried out by the same murderer(s). This kind of crime happens occasionally in Detective Conan.

Assassination

Assassination is a special form of Murder. In the case of assassinations, the targets are usually prominent figures, mainly politicians (rather than normal civilians), who are supposed to be murdered in a surprise attack.

Assassinations and assassination attempts rarely occur in Detective Conan, and most of the times are carried out by the Black Organization. Cases with assassination or assassination attempt:

Kidnapping

General

Kidnapping, and sometimes referred to as Abduction, is the taking away or transportation of a person against that person's will, usually to hold the person in false imprisonment, a confinement without legal authority. This kind of crime occurs occasionally in Detective Conan.

Motives

Jealousy

As in "wife kills husband for cheating", I'm seeking for another term so it wouldn't be confused with "envy"

Envy

As in "I killed her because she's hotter than me", I'm seeking for another term so it wouldn't be confused with "jealousy"
